Golf in Temecula

Yelpers give Cottonwood Golf Club a 3.5-star average:

Designed by golf legend Gary Player, Steele Canyon Golf Club’s 27-hole championship course thoughtfully incorporates the scenic Southern California landscape into three distinct nine-hole courses. Divot-tearing duos can contend with the rolling terrain that characterizes the Canyon Course, a nine-hole odyssey where severe elevation changes place a high premium on sound club selection and a golf cart that does not fear heights. The nuanced difficulty of the Meadow Course hinges on shifting winds and fortified greens as it snakes through more open, pastoral terrain. On the Ranch Course, players can test their mettle at the par 4 third hole—the championship course's signature hole—where a dramatically elevated tee box and a lingering group of ball-snatching paratroopers have led to the hole’s apropos nickname, “Parachute.” Golfers can play any two of the three nine-hole courses with a club-wielding frenemy or combine two Groupons to play as a foursome.

The 18-hole Reidy Creek Golf Course covers 2,582 yards in the rugged hills of Escondido, supplying guests with a scenic backdrop for club-based revelry. The rolling terrain of the par 54 course—intertwined with manmade obstacles such as sculpted bunkers, sinuous lakes, and wind—challenges golfers as they attempt holes-in-one. The distinctive course, designed by the notable engineers at Cal Olson Golf Architecture not to contain any two identical holes, contains a golf shop, café, and golf clinics taught by PGA professionals.
